These TMDLs address fecal coliform, low dissolved oxygen, and nutrient impairments in the Manatee River Basin. Specifically, the TMDL rules being proposed for adoption are fecal coliform TMDLs for Braden River above Ward Lake, Cedar Creek, Gilly Creek, Nonsense Creek, and Rattlesnake Slough, dissolved oxygen TMDL for Nonsense Creek, and dissolved oxygen and nutrient TMDLs for Rattlesnake Slough. These waterbodies were verified as impaired using the methodology established in Chapter 62-303, F.A.C., Identification of Impaired Surface Waters. The methodology used to develop these TMDLs was the percent reduction method. This rulemaking has been given OGC case number 09-0717.
